About this listen

From integral philosopher Ken Wilber, a practical guide to finding a radical and complete Wholeness through a path that blends integral theory, psychology, spiritual practice, and shadow work.

According to Ken Wilber, the perpetual human search for growth and fulfillment is often incomplete. In this book, Wilber integrates the wisdom of spirituality, psychology, shadow work, science, and integral theory to offer us a path to a radical and complete Wholeness of Waking Up, Growing Up, Opening Up, Cleaning Up, and Showing Up. Wilber shows listeners how to apply integral theory to their everyday lives for transformation. For example, he shows how the theory of the Four Quadrants—the four perspectives through which we view the world—relates to our lives and allows us to show up and be more present. He also discusses how to evolve our multiple intelligences, how to increase our spiritual awareness, how to process what’s hidden in the depths of our consciousness, and how to enhance, deepen, and widen the feelings of bliss and love. Wilber introduces several practices—on topics such as the Witness, One Taste, and shadow work—to lead us to direct experiences that we can integrate into our lives. In this way, we truly understand Wholeness and can make room for everything life brings our way.

No other path of growth includes these five categories—each of which is a unique path to wholeness. By combining them and integrating them, one comes to a realization of what Wilber calls Big Wholeness—a completeness in which everything in our experience comes together to pull us into this deep meaning, where we feel in touch not only with all of the important aspects of ourselves but also with everything in our world.

Lists of categories and more categories and stages and more lists. I really tried but it could not captivate me not keep me at it. I gave up at chapter 10. For me it’s way too heady and lacks heart, if that’s your thing you may think otherwise of it

wilber has a tendency to repeat himself to death! this book could be half as long if he stopped the constant repetition. besides that, the book has a weird distance to the subject he tries to unfold: wholeness. The more you get into it, the more you get a feeling that he is far removed from it himself. like there is a quality about this that has escaped him. he knows but he doesn't know. He also uses strange references. For example: in the chapter about shadow work he uses Freud as the reference and hardly mentions Jung at all. that is a really weird choice, since Jung was far more deeply into a spiritual and holistic understanding of shadows than Freud. there are other strange reference choices besides this. lastly it feels like he is trying to hard to convince you of his theory. A theory that seems to have many points you can easily critique. I would recommend many other authers than Wilber if you want to know about wholeness.
